ABSTRACT

New 1,3,5-triazines containing at least one hindered phenolic moiety and at least one hindered amine moiety are useful light stabilizers and antioxidants for polymeric materials.

The present invention relates to new substituted 1,3,5-triazines, their manufacture, their use for stabilising organic material and to the organic material protected, with the aid thereof, against oxidative and light-induced degradation.

The use of piperidine derivatives of 1,3-pyrimidine and 1,3,5-triazine as a light stabiliser is known from British Patent Specification No. 1,393,551. Furthermore, phenolic 1,3,5-triazines which are suitable for use as antioxidants are known from U.S. Pat. No. 3,255,191.

A new class of 1,3-pyrimidines and 1,3,5-triazines, which combines a light stabilising effect and surprisingly good antioxidative properties in one and the same molecule, has now been found. Moreover, the new compounds are distinguished by good colour properties.

The 1,3-pyrimidines and 1,3,5-triazines carrying mixed substituents can be manufactured by various methods which are in themselves known.

Usually, the starting material used is 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine of the formula ##STR7## which is a known compound.

In order to attach a group R', R" or R'" of the formula (II) to the heterocyclic base structure, about one mol of a compound of the formula VII is reacted with about one mol of a phenol of the formula ##STR8## in the presence of a base and in a solvent.

Examples of suitable bases are organic nitrogen bases, such as triethylamine, pyridine or piperidine. Inorganic bases, such as alkali metal carbonates or alkali metal hydroxides, preferably sodium carbonate, are also suitable.

All protic and aprotic solvents which are sufficiently polar are suitable for use as solvents, such as, for example, acetone, acetone/water, methanol, ethanol, tetrahydrofurane or diethyl ether. Acetone, acetone/water, methanol or ethanol are preferentially used.

If two of the radicals R', R" and R'" denote a group of the formula II, about one mol of a compound of the formula VII is reacted, in an analogous manner, with about two mols of the same phenol of the formula VIII or with one mol each of two different phenols of the formula VIII.

The groups of the formulae III, IV or V are linked to the heterocyclic system in the same way as described above for the phenolic radicals of the formula II.

Under the reaction conditions described above, a compound of the formula VII is reacted with one of the compounds ##STR9## PG,14

Advantageously, the phenolic component of the formula VIII is first allowed to react with the triazine or pyrimidine of the formula VII and the reaction with the piperidines of the formulae IX, X or XI is carried out subsequently.

The manufacture of the compounds of the formula I, wherein one of the radicals R', R" and R'" denotes the group --P(O)--(OR₁₇)₂, is effected by means of the known Arbusov reaction. Preferably, after the trichloride of the formula VII has been reacted with a phenol of the formula VIII and a piperidine of the formula IX, X or XI, the resulting monochloro compound is reacted with a phosphite of the formula P(OR₁₇)₃ in the presence of a salt, such as NiCl₂.6H₂ O. The phosphite can here serve as the solvent at the same time.

The manufacture of the compounds of the formula I, in which one of the radicals R', R" and R'" denotes one of the groups --S--R₁₅, --O--R₁₇ or --NR₁₈ R₁₉, is known and described, for example, in British Patent Specification No. 1,393,551. Here, an alkali metal mercaptide, an alkali metal phenolate or an amine of the formulae MS--R₁₅, MO--R₁₇ or HNR₁₈ R₁₉ is reacted, preferably in a solvent. Preferably, an excess of the amine of the formula HNR₁₈ R₁₉ is employed.

The compounds of the formula I, wherein one of the radicals R', R" and R'" denotes an azido group are manufactured by means of known substitution reactions.

Frequently, the substitution of the third chlorine atom of the compound of the formula VII cannot readily be effected and greatly depends on the nucleophilic character of the attacking group. The best results are achieved when this third reaction stage is carried out at an elevated temperature, preferably at reflux temperature.

The piperidines of the formulae IX and XI are known, for example 4-hydroxy-piperidines are known from DT-OS No. 2,352,658 and 4-amino-piperidines are known from U.S. Pat. No. 3,684,765. In general, the 4-OH compounds can be manufactured from the corresponding 4-oxopiperidines of the formula XII ##STR10## by reduction, for example by catalytic hydrogenation over Raney nickel, whilst the 4-NH₂ compounds are obtainable from a compound of the formula XII, for example, by means of a reductive conversion with ammonia.

The 4-oxopiperidines of the formula XII in which R₈ is hydrogen, can be manufactured by various processes.

Thus, for example, W. Traube in Chem. Ber. 41, 777 (1908) describes the reaction of an aliphatic ketone with ammonia.

4-Oxopiperidines of the formula XII in which R₈ denotes hydrogen, can also be manufactured analogously to the process described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,513,170. Here, an alkyl-substituted tetrahydropyrimidine is hydrolytically rearranged in the presence of an acid catalyst.

N-H compounds of the formula XII which carry different substituents in the 2-position and 6-position, can be manufactured by reacting a ketone of the formula CH₃ --CO--CH₂ --R₇ with ammonia. The pyrimidine formed is hydrolysed, as described in Helv. Chim. Acta 30, 114 (1947), to give an aminoketone of the formula XIII. ##STR11##

Compounds of the formula XIII are reacted, in a second process stage, with ammonia and a ketone CH₃ --CO--CH₂ --R₇, as is described, for example, in Monatsh. Chemie 88, 464 (1957). The compounds of the formula VII in which R₈ denotes hydrogen, can be obtained from the resulting pyrimidine by hydrolysis.

Compounds of the formula XII in which R₈ does not denote hydrogen, can be manufactured from the corresponding N-H compounds by substitution. This step involves the substitution reactions customary for secondary amines, although these reactions proceed more slowly because of the steric hindrance by the methyl group or the group --CH₂ --R₇. For example, the N-H compounds can be reacted with alkyl, alkenyl, aralkyl or alkoxyalkyl halides, dialkyl sulphates, epichlorohydrins, esters of chlorocarboxylic acids, such as esters of chloroacetic acid, or acid chlorides or acid anhydrides.

The group --CH₂ --CH(R₁₀)--OR₁₁ can be introduced by reacting with N-H-piperidines with an epoxide of the formula ##STR12## and subsequently acylating the product with an acyl chloride of the formula R₁₁ Cl. The radical --(C_(m) H_(2m))--OH is introduced analogously.

Compounds of the type of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-(carbalkoxycyanomethyl)-piperidine, which can be used as intermediate products, are moreover known from British Patent Specification No. 1,214,426.

Compounds of the formula XI in which R₁₃ denotes an ester grouping or amide grouping, are manufactured from 4-hydroxypiperidines or 4-aminopiperidines respectively by known methods of esterification.

Compounds of the formula X are, in principle, manufactured in an analogous manner. The introduction of the group --NR₆ --CH₂ --CH₂ --ZH is described, for example, in DT-OS No. 2,349,962 and is effected by reacting the corresponding amine of the formula XIV ##STR13## with a chloride of the formula XV

    HZ--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --Cl                               (XV)

in the presence of an acid-binding agent.

According to the present invention, the compounds of the formula I can be used as stabilisers for plastics against damage thereto by the action of oxygen, heat and light. Examples of such plastics are the polymers listed in DT-OS No. 2,456,864 on pages 12-14.

The stabilisation of polyolefines, styrene polymers and polyurethanes is of particular importance and the compounds of the formula I are outstandingly suitable for this purpose. Examples of these are polyethylene of high and low density, polypropylene, ethylene/propylene copolymers, polystyrene, styrene/butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymers, mixtures of polyolefines or of styrene polymers, polyurethanes, based on polyethers or polyesters, in the form of films, fibres, lacquers, elastomers or foams. The compounds of the formula I are particularly suitable for stabilising ABS.

The stabilisers are added to the plastics in a concentration of 0.01 to 5% by weight, calculated on the material to be stabilised. Preferably 0.03 to 1.5, particularly preferably 0.2 to 0.6, % by weight of the compounds, calculated on the material to be stabilised, are incorporated into the latter.

The incorporation can be carried out after the polymerisation, for example by admixing the compounds and, optionally, further additives into the melt by the methods customary in the art, before or during shaping, or by applying the dissolved or dispersed compounds to the polymer, if appropriate with subsequent evaporation of the solvent.

The new compounds can also be added to the plastics to be stabilised in the form of a master batch which contains these compounds, for example in a concentration of 2.5 to 25% by weight.

In the case of crosslinked polyethylene, the compounds are added before crosslinking.

The invention thus also relates to the plastics which have been stabilised by the addition of 0.01 to 5% by weight of a compound of the formula I and which optionally can also contain further known and customary additives. The plastics stabilised in this way can be used in very diverse forms, for example as films, fibres, tapes, profiles or as binders for lacquers, adhesives or cements.

Examples which may be mentioned of further additives which can be employed together with the stabilisers to be used according to the invention are: antioxidants, such as simple 2,6-dialkylphenols, derivatives of alkylated hydroquinones, hydroxylated thiodiphenyl ethers, alkylidene-bisphenols, O-, N- and S-benzyl compounds, hydroxybenzylated malonates, hydroxybenzyl-aromatic compounds, s-triazine compounds, amides of β-(3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionic acid, esters of β-(3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionic acid, esters of β-(5-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)propionic acid, esters of 3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, acylaminophenols, benzyl-phosphonates and aminoaryl derivatives, UV absorbers and light stabilisers, such as 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-benztriazoles, 2,4-bis-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-6-alkyl-s-triazines, 2-hydroxybenzophenones, 1,3-bis-(2'-hydroxybenzoyl)-benzenes, esters of optionally substituted benzoic acids and acrylates, and furthermore nickel compounds, sterically hindered amines, oxalic acid diamides, metal deactivators, phosphites, compounds which destroy peroxides, polyamide stabilisers, basic co-stabilisers, PVC stabilisers, nucleating agents or other additives, such as, for example, plasticisers, lubricants, emulsifiers, fillers, carbon black, asbestos, kaolin, talc, glass fibres, pigments, optical brighteners, flameproofing agents and antistatic agents.

Examples of further additives which can be employed together with the stabilisers to be used according to the invention can be found in DT-OS No. 2,427,853 on pages 18-24.

The manufacture and use of the compounds according to the invention is described in more detail in the examples which follow.

EXAMPLE 1a

36.8 g of cyanuric chloride in 200 ml of boiling acetone were slowly poured into 400 ml of ice water, whilst stirring. The temperature was maintained between 0° and 5° C. by means of external cooling and 35.8 g of 4-amino-2-tert.-butyl-6-methylphenol and 21.2 g of sodium carbonate were added in the course of 30 minutes. Whilst stirring vigorously, the reaction mixture was kept at 8°-10° C. for one hour and then diluted with 200 ml of acetone. Stirring was continued for a further hour at 10° C. and the suspension was then poured into 2,000 ml of ice water. The precipitate was filtered off and dried in vacuo. The resulting 2-(3-tert.-butyl-5-methyl-4-hydroxyanilino)-4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine has a melting point of 212° C.

EXAMPLE 1b

15.6 g of 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine in 50 ml of acetone and 10.6 g of sodium carbonate in 50 ml of water were simultaneously added, at 25° C., to 32.7 g. of the product from Example 1a in 200 ml of acetone. The mixture was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature, the desired 2-(3-tert.-butyl-5-methyl-4-hydroxyanilino)-4-[(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-4-yl)-amino]-6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine precipitating. Recrystallisation from ethanol gave 31.5 g of dry product which melts at 240° C. (stabiliser No. 1).

EXAMPLE 2

1.15 g of sodium were dissolved in 150 ml of methanol and 7.3 g of n-octylmercaptan were added. A solution of 10.8 g of 2-(3-tert.-butyl-5-methyl-4-hydroxyanilino)-4-[(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-4-yl)-amino]-6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine in 200 ml of methanol was added to the resulting sodium n-octylmercaptide, whilst stirring. The reaction mixture was kept under reflux for 16 hours and then poured into 400 ml of ice water, a slightly brownish precipitate, which was filtered off, being formed. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate/hexane gives 13.9 g of almost colourless 2-(3-tert.-butyl-5-methyl-4-hydroxyanilino)-4-[(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-4-yl)-amino]-6-(n-octylthio)-1,3,5-triazine having a melting point of 133° C.

The temperature was maintained between 0° and 5° C. by means of external cooling. 71.6 g of 4-amino-2-tert.-butyl-6-methylphenol in 100 ml of acetone and 42.4 g of sodium carbonate in 100 ml of water were simultaneously added at 10° C. The mixture was stirred at 10° C. for one hour and then at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was then poured into ice water and the precipitate was filtered off and recrystallised from ethanol. In this way, it was possible to isolate 35.5 g of white 2,4-bis-(3-tert.-butyl-5-methyl-4-hydroxyanilino)-6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine which melts at 214° C.

EXAMPLE 3b

7.8 g of 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine and then 5.06 g of triethylamine were added, at 25° C., to 23.5 g of 2,4-bis-(3-tert.-butyl-5-methyl-4-hydroxyanilino)-6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine dissolved in 500 ml of ethanol. The reaction mixture was kept at reflux temperature for 24 hours and was then cooled and poured into 300 ml of cold water. The resulting precipitate was filtered off, dried and recrystallised from ethyl acetate. The product thus isolated, that is to say 14.0 g of 2,4-bis-(3-t-butyl-5-methyl-4-hydroxyanilino)-6-[(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-4-yl)-amino]-1,3,5-triazine, melts at 164° C. (stabiliser No. 3).

EXAMPLE 4

6.25 g of 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine and 5.5 ml of triethylamine each in 50 ml of ethanol were simultaneously added in the course of one hour to 8.7 g of 2-[3-(3,5-di-t.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropylamino]-4,6-dichlorotriazine in 100 ml of ethanol, and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 16 hours. The hot solution was subsequently poured into 100 ml of ice water. The precipitate was treated as in Example 3 and yielded 9.0 g of the white product, namely 2-[3-(3,5-di-t.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropylamino]-4,6-di-[(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-4-yl)-amino]-1,3,5-triazine, having a melting point of 120° C. (stabiliser No. 4).

EXAMPLE 5

The working-up method described in Example 1 gave 5.6 g of 2-[3-(3,5-di-t.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropylamino]-4-[(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-4-yl)-amino]-6-(ethylphosphonate)-1,3,5-triazine (stabiliser No. 5), which is a viscous oil.

EXAMPLE 6

The sodium salt of n-decylthiol, which had been obtained by means of reaction of 1.15 g of sodium and 8.7 g of n-decylthiol in 50 ml of ethanol, was added dropwise to 14 g of 2-[3-(3,5-di-t.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-propylamino]-4-[(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-4-yl)-amino]-6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine in 300 ml of ethanol. After 1 hour of stirring at 24° C., the reaction mixture was refluxed for 16 hours. It was then cooled, the sodium chloride was filtered off and the solvent was evaporated off in vacuo. Recrystallisation from n-hexane/ethyl acetate yielded 6.4 g of the white 2-[3-(3,5-di-t.-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-propylamino]-4-[(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-4-yl)-amino]-6-(n-decylthio)-1,3,5-triazine having a melting point of 50° C.

EXAMPLE 20

100 parts of polypropylene (melt index 2.6 g/10 min., 230° C./2160 g) were thoroughly mixed in a shaking apparatus for 10 minutes with 0.2 part in each case of an additive given in the following Table II. The mixture obtained was kneaded at 200° C. for 10 minutes in a Brabender plastograph; the resulting mixture was subsequently pressed in a platen press at 260° C. platen temperature to form 1 mm thick sheets, from which were stamped strips 1 cm in width and 17 cm in length.

The testing of the effectiveness of the additives contained in the test strips was carried out by heat ageing in an air-circulation oven at 135° C. and 149° C., with a test strip containing no additive serving as a comparison. Three test strips from each formulation were used. The end point was defined as being that at which decomposition of the test strip commences, a condition easily recognisable by virtue of complete embrittlement. The results are given in days.

EXAMPLE 22

A solution of in each case one of the stabilisers in Table IV, which consisted of 0.7 g of the stabiliser in 100 ml of cyclohexane, was worked into 100 g of unstabilised ABS powder. The cyclohexane was subsequently completely evaporated off in vacuo. To the dry ABS powder were then added 2% of titanium dioxide and 1% of ethylenediamino-bis-stearamide as lubricant, and mixed in for 12 hours in an automatic shaking machine. Processing was carried out on a two-roller mill at a roll temperature of 165° and 180° C. and at 16 and 18 r.p.m., respectively for 4 minutes. From the 0.8 mm thick sheet, pressed at 175° C. for 3 minutes, were stamped out specimens 4.5×1.7 cm in size and these were dried at 60° C. in vacuo for 4 hours.

The specimens produced in this manner were aged on an aluminium sheet in an air-circulation oven at 200° C. The ageing of the specimens was verified by means of the ATR technique. The increase of the carbonyl band at 1720 cm⁻¹ relative to the methylene band at 1455 cm⁻¹ was determined according to the base-line method.

As a measure for the protective action of the stabilisers tested was taken the time in minutes in which the intensity ratio of the carbonyl band at 1720 cm⁻¹ to the reference band at 1455 cm⁻¹ had risen to 0.1 (=T₀.1). The results are given in the following Table IV.
